Demands
on the forest and natural resources are increasing
for forest products, recreation, water quality, and
ecological and wildlife habitat enhancement.
Added to these demands are the pressures from human
population growth as developments encroach and interface
with the forest resources.

South
Carolina is richly blessed with an abundance and diversity
of forest landscapes and habitats that adds to the
quality of life. The
following publications are provided to offer a factual reference of the status
of the forest and natural resources in South Carolina
and the Southeast. You will find links to other
sites to build upon your knowledge and understanding
of the natural resources we often take for granted.
